HALK.HoLIDAY MEg NOT DSCoURAG ED

THE LEADERS OF THE MOVEMENT WILL SOON TAKE
NEW STEPS IN THE REFORM.
Whatever opposition there may be to the Saturday
Half-Hoday IL has not caused the leaders and adyo
Gates OF the movement to feel any doubt rs to the
ultimate triumph of the reform throughout the
country. That the new custom would encounter
serious obstacles before IL became permanently
adopted they fully expected and consequently they
do not feel cast down now that opposition has really
arisen. Their views and position the matter were
stated yesterday by Edward Johnston, president OF
the Halt Holiday Association who has been mainly
instrumental in securing the successful beginning OF
the movement. When asked ty a TRIBUNE reporter
what he thought OF the halt.holiday's Continued
success in view of the action taken against 1t By Wall
street men and others, he replied:
" So far association Is abundantly satisfied with

"Well, suppose that it has caused some inconven-

Mr.. Johns added that in his opinion the contin-

THE pRuGKkoslVE SOUTH.
The Extensive improvements Be-
ing Made at Lehi.

Quite an event to US, and what may
be termed the beginning of our holiday
s. ason. came off last evening, name y,
the opening OF our new Social Hall,
which, in connection with his new
store building, for general merchandise,
has been built by MIR. Louis Garth, of
this place. The party was given by
MIR. Garth. and intended for all who
had worked on the building also the
city ana ward authorizes. A bout 200
couples assembled at tue usual hour,
but still the hall did not seem crowded.
Th" size of the hall is 60x4U feet with
stage addition TO The upper story,
supported on pillars, 4Ux26 feet.
m building is OF rock, two stories
high; the lower story is intended for
ger eral store pu pos the upper story
for social ha Masonry work com-
mel ced on the pu.ldIhg ABOUT June l,
1887. Prior 10 this Inc cellar, full size
of the bulloing had been ug, and pipe
or flow n well riven about 100 feet
securing a flow of good warer OF thirty
gallons per minute, with force enough
to throw t over the building, or sprinkle
the whole breadth OF the street In front.
The water has proved quite loon, and
must have saved LOFTS cost in furnish
ns water for co.'s racti3n.
he cost of the building to date has
been about So GOO and will require about
81 000 more to finish it chiefly on the
wer story. Our townsman, Mr. Peter
Lautersack, furnished the plans for con-
truction, and has performed quite a
proportion of the wood work attn ugh
oil nf on6
Of all grades have found work on the
building.
rhe building, in both its capacities,
set ms to have been b lit more with b
view to future wants, than present
NJ eds, showing a strong faith in the
future growth, both Of our town and
comfy.
We already had music hall in I.ehi,
about tw thirds the size of the new
hall. but not quite SO W Il appointed or
situated. 1t was originally built by the
Lehi brass band, and seemed intended
for q place IN which to practice and
exercise on their pieces before they
were deemed fit for the public ear. 1t
has since passed into the ownership of
the Lehi Peoples Co operative In til
tuition, by whom it is now. has
been for years past. leased to the
Young Mems and Young Ladies' Mutual
Improvement Associations, who have
chiefly mana ed the amusement inter-
ests OF This place.
l understand that Mr.. Garth's new
hall has been leased for the coming
year by the Kirkham Brothers Com
pany of musicians OF this place.
There are in Lehi and vicinity nearly
200 flowing wells, varying from three
gallons to 100 gallons per minute.
